She has already created history by becoming the first Indian post-independence with multiple medals at a single edition. Will she bag a hat-trick in Paris? She well could, after finishing joint first in qualification.
The women's individual archery medal events will also be played in the evening, so if either or both of Deepika Kumari and Bhajan Kaur qualify, they will have a shot at the podium. After Ankita Bhakat and Dhiraj Bommadevara's fourth-place finish yesterday at the mixed team event, Deepika and Bhajan will be eager to bring some joy to the archery contingent.
And towards the end of the day, Nishant Dev has a chance to assure himself of a medal if he wins his men's 71kg quarter-final bout against Marco Verde of Mexico. It will be a tough bout, however as Verde is the gold medal winner at the 2023 Pan American Games.
